Wix Installer Advanced UI Welcome Screen flashes by

Question

I'm building an installer using Wix 3.11, and I've been using the Advanced UI template in order to get the per-machine/per-user installation choice. My issue is that the welcome screen doesn't show. Or more specifically, the welcome screen flashes at the beginning of the installer and goes straight to the License page without any user input. I've noticed that this doesn't happen on some of the other UI templates.

Has anyone else seen this? I even started a fresh project, and it does the same thing.

Answer 1

WixUI_Advanced doesn't have a welcome screen. The first screen ( AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg ) shows the EULA. There's another modeless dialog ( PrepareDlg ) shown while the AppSearch standard action is running; if that happens quickly, it can appear to flash.
